The Pantheon+ Analysis: Improving the Redshifts and Peculiar Velocities of Type Ia Supernovae Used in Cosmological Analyses

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Anthony Carr, Tamara M. Davis, Daniel Scolnic, Khaled Said, Dillon Brout | Summary: We examine the redshifts of a comprehensive set of published Type Ia supernovae, and provide a combined, improved catalog with updated redshifts. We improve on the original catalogs by using the most up-to-date heliocentric […]

GJ 367b: A dense ultra-short period sub-Earth planet transiting a nearby red dwarf star

Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Kristine W. F. Lam, Szilárd Csizmadia, Nicola Astudillo-Defru, Xavier Bonfils, Davide Gandolfi | Summary: Ultra-short-period (USP) exoplanets have orbital periods shorter than one day. Precise masses and radii of USPs could provide constraints on their unknown formation and evolution processes. We report the detection and characterization […]

Damped Ly-alpha Absorbers in Star-forming Galaxies at z < 0.15 Detected with the Hubble Space Telescope and Implications for Galaxy Evolution

Kavli Affiliate: Donald G. York | First 5 Authors: Varsha P. Kulkarni, David V. Bowen, Lorrie A. Straka, Donald G. York, Neeraj Gupta | Summary: We report {it HST} COS spectroscopy of 10 quasars with foreground star-forming galaxies at 0.02$<$$z$$<$ 0.14 within impact parameters of $sim$1-7 kpc. We detect damped/sub-damped Ly$alpha$ absorption in 100$%$ of […]

In-flight gain monitoring of SPIDER’s transition-edge sensor arrays

Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: J. P. Filippini, A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin, E. Y. Young, P. A. R. Ade | Summary: Experiments deploying large arrays of transition-edge sensors (TESs) often require a robust method to monitor gain variations with minimal loss of observing time. We propose a sensitive and […]

Recent advances in branching problems of representations

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, , , , | Summary: How does an irreducible representation of a group behave when restricted to a subgroup? This is part of branching problems, which are one of the fundamental problems in representation theory, and also interact naturally with other fields of mathematics. This […]
